JUSTIN SCHWARZBART, OF BERLIN, GERMANY.

HOLDER FOR SNUFF AND THE LIKE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 16, 1915.

Application filed February 29, 1912. Serial No. 680,764.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JUSTIN SoHwARzBAn'r, subject of the German Emperor,residing at 22 J iidenstrasse, Berlin, Germany, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Holders for Snuff and the like, of whichthe following is a specification.

The present invention relates to a holder of snuff powder.

The novel feature of the present invention consists in that this holder,which is made in a very handy form and may be conveniently carried inones pocket, has a snuifmg end, so that the holder can serve as a nasalinhaler. This snufling arrangement is adapted to the shape of the noseand may be easily and conveniently introduced into the nostrils.

In the accompanying drawing several constructional forms of the presentinvention are exemplified.

Figures 1, 2, 3 show a holder in two parts with twonozzles. Figs. 4 and5 are a special constructional form for powder snuff.

In Figs. 1, 2 and 3 the fiat vessel is made of the cover 9 and thebottom 7 to form a flat receptacle. The flattened ends it have holes 2',which register with each other when the parts f and g are assembled, andwill thereby admit of air entering into the space when the snuff powderis snuffed. The snufiing end consists of the nozzles 73 which are formedwhen the parts f and g are assembled. When not in use the nozzles arecovered by the sleeve-shaped cap d.

In Figs. 4 and 5 is shown a constructional form, which is of particularimportance for filling the holder with snuff. In the part If is provideda partition M, which has a bore 41. When the parts t and w are assembleda separate chamber is formed in the holder.

Into this chamber is placed a wad of cotton wool or the like, which willprevent the snuff powder from falling out through the openings o and acand on the other hand allow of a passage of air in snuliing. Thepartition is necessary to prevent the cotton wool from being drawn outby the suction in snutfing and that too large quantities of snuff enterthe nose.

The holder may be made of any suitable material. It is essential that itis made of a fiat shape and can be conveniently carried in ones pocket.

I claim:

A holder for snufi and the like comprising a. bottom member consistingof a flat piece having a substantially double V shaped end, an upwardlyextending flange extening entirely around the perimeter of said flatpiece, said flange having an opening through it at the front end of theholder and an opening coinciding with each of the V shaped ends, and atop member consisting of a fiat piece having a substantially double Vshaped end, a downwardly extending flange extending entirely around theperimeter of said top flat piece and provided with holes coinciding withthe holes in the flange of the bottom member, said top member beingconstructed to fit over the bottom member, and a cover constructed tofit over both of the double V shaped ends; said V shaped endsconstituting nozzles constructed to fit into the nostrils.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twosubscribing witnesses.
